I know what it's like to lose a loved one unexpectedly. It is not a good thing to know, but it is something I have experienced. My grandfather died in May of 2013. I was waiting for him to pick me up after school to go to violin practice in 7th grade. Instead my dad showed up and I was confused. Then I got closer to the car and saw that he was crying, then I was worried. After I got in the car(TaTa is what we called my grampa)he said TaTa is dead. Once I had heard that I felt like my heart had dropped into my stomach and the tears started to pour out of my eyes.

Afterwards I had to go tell my music instructor I wouldn't be able to make it to music practice. My music teacher had been good friends with my grampa so I already knew he wouldn't be too happy about it. I couldn't even speak because it felt as if I wasn't real. I had told him that my grampa had just passed away and that unworldly be able to make it to music practice today. After I told him and walked back outside I had felt a feeling that I had never felt before.

Then I had arrived at my grandmas house and I began to hyperventilate and become hysterical. It was the second major death in the family and as soon as that happened I knew our family would slowly fall apart. My grandfather had done everything and no one can do anything to replace him. Where had planned so much for both of us in the future. He used to tell me that he knew I was going to go to foothill high. He didn't get a chance to see me go here though. I could only imagine how proud I would've made him.

In conclusion though I will never forget what he'd done for me in the past to make me a better person in the future. On,g because one of my goals is to still make him proud as if he was still here today. That's what he would've wanted and I will make it happen.
